EPA: Models show “greater potential impact” to US West Coast from rainfall containing Fukushima radioactive material — California sea water with over 10 Million pCi/m3 of iodine-131 found in sample squeezed out of seaweed

More from Prof. Manley: “Radioactivity is taken up by the kelp and anything that feeds on the kelp will be exposed… [it] got into the environment… we don’t know anything about the other radioisotopes like cesium 137, which stays around much longer than iodine. In fact, the values that we reported for iodine probably [is an] underestimate… It could be two to three times more because we were just sampling the surface tissue; the biomass estimates were based on canopy tissue and a lot of kelp biomass is underneath… it enters the coastal food web and gets dispersed over a variety of organisms. I would assume it’s there. It’s not a good thing, but [the] detrimental effect is beyond my expertise.”
